TV star Mona Singh files police complaint as semi-nude MMS goes viral

New Delhi: Television actress Mona Singh, who rose to popularity with 'Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahi', has found herself in the middle of a controversy after an MMS, allegedly of hers, starting doing the rounds on the Internet.

The semi-nude MMS went viral on March 28, though its authenticity was not verified.
However, the actress is quite upset and said the video was "morphed".

"All I can say is that this is a morphed video. I have taken relevant action and filed a complaint and investigations are on. It is a shameful and very serious matter," she told the daily Hindustan Times.

Mona Singh: Someone morphed my face on to someone else's body

Television actress Mona Singh who rose to fame with her Plain Jane act in 'Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin' and is currently being seen as the staid housewife in 'Kya Hua Tera Wada' is currently facing embarrassment because of a MMS clip showing a woman who looks suspiciously like her indulging in sexual acts. Mona, who has never had a whiff of a scandal in her entire career, says, "I am aware of a scandalous video featuring my lookalike in circulation. At this point of time all I can say is that this is a morphed video." Mona has lodged a complaint at the cyber-crime branch.

Mona said her family and friends are standing by her like they always have, supporting her to see this through.

"I've taken the relevant action and investigation is on," she says. While Mona clams up beyond this, a colleague from the television industry says: "Mona comes from a conservative Punjabi home. Such a scandal is not something her family would like to accept as part and parcel of show-biz. She is deeply mortified and shaken by the episode." Mona can take solace in the fact that several actresses before her have been victims of the murky morphing syndrome. The MMS was leaked on Friday, and went viral. She said in a statement: "It is just completely appalling and disgraceful that someone on the web can go to the extent of morphing my face onto someone else's body to create a sensational video! We have filed a severe complaint at the Cyber Crime Cell and are hoping to find the culprit. People need to realise that before being actors we're respectable women and have family and friends who we're answerable to and who get affected by negativity that is thrown in our direction." She further added: "Thankfully, my family and friends are standing by me like they always have, supporting me to see this through. If today this can happen to me, it can happen to any innocent girl and things like this can ruin lives and careers forever. This is a VERY SERIOUS issue and it needs to stop! As members of the media, journalists and editors should also take a stand against such acts and not provide the culprits with the publicity that they are hoping for as the outcome of their dastardly acts."

Frankly, I do not think it is morphed.

If it is, then it is genius work.
But, it is SERIOUS interference in someone's personal life. Also, a great example of how too much technology hurts and is hurting in the longer run. To begin with, we must STOP making such videos, especially from devices like mobile phone from which these clips can be circulated so easily. Also, there needs to be TOUGH punishments for the offenders.

G'day

Theres a certain hypocrisy and sense of keeping the private life private as well as clean as a whistle attitude in indian celebs and civilians as well that it just drives me nuts.

The more mature approach would have been to file a complaint to get this video removed. Make a public statement that its none of anyones business who is in the clip and this was not a publicity stunt. Talk to her parents (if it matters) that she is an adult and has a private sexual life. And thats it!!

Most of us saw the video after the news came out that shes filed a complaint. Which means her action backfired.

Ive seen this in a lot of common indian girls as well. They will shag here n there (no offense), have boyfriends and then arent open and proud about it. Im not generalizing (I know most men arent exactly keen to hear the truth) but still.

Well,
With due respect, a few of us like to not be too Americanized.

Sex will happen, no doubts, but we generally do not like our clips circulating around in public. Mona Singh would definitely not want people to watch her nude, if she did, porn would have been a much better paying option.

Yeah, you have the right to have an opinion, I respect that, and disqualify it completely. On one hand, I agree she should not go around saying it is not real and stuff like that, but at the same time I can UNDERSTAND. She lives with her Family. It cannot be easy for her to look into the eyes of her parents. There is nothing hypocritical about that.

Yeah, sexual freedom and all that stuff is alright.. But, we do not have that in India and neither do I preach it. America and other Countries who have such a system are not doing any better when it comes to things like teenage pregnancies and other social issues. So, I'd stick to my own tradition of NOT talking about it, let alone being okay with a sex tape.

G'day

I myself examined each and every part of her body to test if it's real and I think it's her genuine video. There is no morphing at all. I have seen lots of morphed videos in the past but each of them is clearly distinguishable from genuine to fake. Even if Indian government says that it's not her video, at least I am not gonna believe it. I checked her hairline, forehead, breast size, hairstyle, eye shape, lips, chin, nose, fingers that she used to hold a glass, shape of her hands and what not, everything perfectly matches. Even between twins can not look as similar as in case of hers. It's only her video!!
